Does 'mini' in front of a bag's name always mean a small size?

Because 'mini' and 'medium' are mixed in the product names, some readers get confused when trying to gauge the size order. One wonders whether the same modifier is used with a different meaning in certain names.

미니 베이스 백 mini vase bag (silver)
hmmm editorial answer

'mini' in front of the name does not always refer only to size; mini vase bag is a tote bag version of vase bag.

If you try to read the bag names of YEOMIM in order of size, you will get tripped up at least once. This is because there are cases where 'mini' is attached not because it got smaller, but because the way it is carried changed.

미니 베이스 백 mini vase bag (silver) is one such case. This bag is a version of vase bag made into a tote bag[1]. Looking only at the name, it reads as if vase bag was made smaller, but what actually changed is the form of carrying it in hand.

미디움 슬래쉬 호보 백 medium slash hobo bag (cream) is confusing from the opposite side. While the word 'medium' brings a medium size to mind, this bag is a smaller-sized version of the slash hobo bag that came out earlier[2]. There is a separate original bag that serves as the standard, and it means that it is smaller than that. When it comes to 미니 벨티드 보트 백 mini belted boat bag (avocado), the modifier is used in the simplest way. It is a mini-sized bag worn on the shoulder[3].

hmmm, these modifiers are closer to indications showing which bag it branched off from, rather than a grading chart lining up bags in order of size.
